field and Democrats at the polls II we
expect to remain in power. The Pro
hibitionists are busily engaged fencing
up the various state legislatures. while
the Republicans are lying still only
watching for chance to strike ds q
death blow. We have hundreds OF
Democrats (some OF them in Iron coun-
ty) who have deserted US almost un-
knowingly. They first become enlisted
in the w. G. T. U. From that they
branch into Woman's Rights. Then
be ore long every fellow is q staunch
Prohibitionist.
Now. Mr.. Editor, you know that I
am in favor of temperance; however, l
am not by any means an advocate Of
the w. c. II. u, which Is composed Of
certain class who take il upon Them
selves to advise to our county court
and dictate to them when they (the
court) shall stop the revenue and close
up the saloons; but I know you will
agree with me when I say that Democ-
racy aud Prohibition cannot stand upon
the same political platform. Drunk
enness is not u requisite to membership
in our party as some would make it
appear. We advocate the platform of
our party, and we are not ash AIMED Of
it either.
The day IS coming when this prohib-
itory question will be submitted to the
voters of Missouri; then we must be on
the alert and strike it regular Texas
blow. call attention to the recent
elections in Kentucky. All over the
state the Democratic majority is de-
creasing. Why? The Labor party
and Prohibitionists both put their tick
cts in the campaigns. The st. Louis
Republican argues that these side is
sues will benefit the party in 1883; but,
Mr.. Editor, may be wrong, never
theless, my honest convictions are that
in the United.States, in Missouri,in the
Tenth Congressional District, and in
Iron County We must stand firmly up.
on our platform and exclude all these
side issues that are clandestinely trying
to plunge our party down the precipice
of political disaster. Respectfully,
NED.

"You admit that the incorporate use
of liquor Is the root Of many social
evils" triumphantiy writes Senator
Reagan to Jefferson Davis, az II that
were equivalent to Nh admission that
the temperate use Of liquor Ii also an
evil, or that all Ise of 10 should be pro-
hibited in order to prevent the evil Of
Incorporate use.
That is just the point on which the
Prohioitionists and their opponents
divide. All admit that the intemper-
ate use Of liquor is the root Vt many
social evils. ALI admit that such nse
should be discouraged, restrained, pre-
vented by every proper exercise Of
government authority by ell the moral
influences society can exert. But ths
temperate aud inn0cuous use OF liquors
by hundreds Of people must be stOpped
by the Government. say the PTOhib-
itionists, because one person out Of q
hundred may become inteinpeYate and
make beast or criminal OF himeelf.
Mr.. Reagan says that to prevent snch
q man from making beast or crim-
inal Of himself is no more an infringe
ment of his personal liberty than 10 the
lawful enforcement of the Ten Com.
mandments. Mr.. Reagan can there
fore logically contend for the restraint,
the punishment, the extinction Of In.
temperance to the full extent that the
Just powers of government may be
properly exerted against IL. But he
and all Prohibitionists go further and
propose to make temperate use Of IL
quors impossible; to prevent an occa-
sional excess In whisky drinking by
preventing hundreds and thousands OF
decent, sober people from drinking q
harmless glass Of beer. cider or wine.
There is nothing In the Ten Com
mandments, nothing In the teachings
of the Christian religion, nor In any
other religious or moral codes except
that Of Mohammed, which STAMPS such
drinking as immoral, criminci or evil
in itself. Prohibition would arbitrarily
nate naatuDs 1asohibieuns OF that
which is not ,7a0luns In se, and TO that
sxtant would Infringe the personal lib
erty Of thousands. denying the rightt0
do a customary, agreeable and harmless
thing: and the only excuse for such
ieoisis tion In that it might prevent
few from becoming druuksrds.
Even this poor excuse ID swept aWsy
nv the prevalence Of drunkenness In
Maine after thirty years Of prohibition,
and that State has nothing to bOast OF
but q record of despOtic interference
with the personal liberty Of the citi1en,

y
REGISTER. asks q question which
somebody, at least, ought to try to an.
swer. II you were in this part of Uncle
Sans political vineyard you would
feel considerable anxiety about getting
an answer to such a question. Here
the earth has not had skinful for five
fyears. last spring wesao remark ably
dry that not day was lost on the farm,
and since then there has been no gen.
eral rain, and the local showers, though
heavier than ever known before. In
some places, have been few and far be-
tween and generally accompanied by
dangerous and destructive winds, with
some hail and severe lightning. Past
ures are dried up, water is bad and
scarce, and everywhere there is disap-
pointment and chagrin for losses al
ready sustained with anxiety and alarm
for the future. Everybody asserts or
admits that our climate, never good,
has, in respect to drouth and storms,
grown great deal worse. What has
done it, is the question? Since the
writer was lad, forty years and more
ago. land covered with prairie grass.
with scattering trees and low bushes,
has become covered with dense young
woods; but these patches of timber are
Insignificant compared with the area
that has been drained and put under
plow. When rain falls upon this cul-
tivated land the water and much of
the loan is rushed off to the streams
and carried away at once, SO that to
keep the soil as moist as it formerly
was we should need rain oftener than
it fell when the country was In COM
parative state of nature, whereas rains
are much less common and year after
year wells and springs never known to
fail before keep giving out. 1t is plain
that these bad conditions tend to in
crease themselves and that we are go
ing from bad to worse. How can we
reverse this tendency?
Every ole must admit that IL you
change the surface of the earth over
any considerable area you affect the
atmosphere over that area. Since we
can see that the changes made over our
country have affected the climate for
the worse it is of vital Importance that
we should study these changes and en-
quire what the difference is between
then and now before we ask by what
specific means we can reverse this ten
dency to drouth and tornadoes or what
can we do to replace the natural causes
of rainfall, especially during:that season
of the year when local rains are all that
we get and where general rains are
never known?
1t is easy to account for the excessive
wind. We know that rush Of snow
and ice into warm or heated noun
tain valley causes a wind even more
destructive than the avalanche itself.
The great cold causes a great and sud-
den change in the density of the air.
and the cold and denser air rushes to-
ward the warmer and less dense at
mosphere. So q great rush Of cool rain
Aoui tHo IeSiou vi co1u tuas - AWAY
above US not only brings q cold current
down with it, but suddenly cools the
air below and hence the expansion or
outward rush. The falling rain moist
ems the air. too, making it good con-
ductor of electricity and another force 10
added to the mechanical power 0f the
wind. When we have rains ottener
they will be more gentle, and WING
